yesterday Evynn was toting around a crown made of tinsel that she got at a birthday party. It does not really fit her head, it is falling apart, it looks like garbage and in my mind it is garbage. Why could she not see that the other crown, the expensive one we got for her birthday is so much nicer? Why does she think all the cheap party favor toys are SO important? I was waiting for my sweet precious girl to walk away so I could throw away the eyesore that has been cluttering up the house for several months - knowing she would never miss it once she did not see it.
as I tossed it in the trash our sweet Savior whispered in my ear...
"Natasha, these pieces of trash that your wonderful daughter cherishes are just the same as all the grown up pieces of trash that YOU cherish.... that expensive vase you got as a wedding gift.... the beautiful bracelet your husband gave you.... your home.... your car.... all trash compared to what I have for you....Why can you not see that what I have to offer you is so much nicer? I let you enjoy your tiny treasures.... let her enjoy hers...."
good words...thanks for sharing...
